Also conceivable is only a feeder with a delivery platform (similar to in Fig. 4). Alternatively, a component supply device may also have more than two feed devices and delivery platforms. It is also possible for the return device of FIG. 4 to be implemented in the embodiment of FIG. 1 (and there opens directly into the path 13, 14 of the feed device 3, 4 instead of into the intermediate reservoir 21). Further combinations of features in the context of the present invention are possible.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de fourniture de pièces (1) destiné à une installation de fabrication (2), comprenant : au moins une plateforme de fourniture (5, 6) et au moins un dispositif d'acheminement (3, 4) pour l'acheminement de pièces (10) vers la plateforme de fourniture (5, 6). Pour acheminer en retour les pièces excédentaires ou mal orientées dans le processus, au moins un dispositif d'acheminement en retour (8, 9) est prévu, ce dispositif sortant de la zone de la plateforme de fourniture (5, 6) et arrivant dans le dispositif d'acheminement (3, 4), de préférence dans la zone initiale de ce dernier. L'invention concerne également une installation de fabrication destinée à la fabrication de modules (30) constitués à partir de pièces (10) séparées, ainsi qu'un procédé de préparation et de retrait de pièces (10) dans une installation de fabrication (2).
